Minor Earth Major Sky (stylised as minor earth | major sky) is the sixth studio album by Norwegian band A-ha, released on 14 April 2000 by WEA.
Background and release
Following the release of A-ha`s fifth studio album, Memorial Beach (1993), the band decided to go on a hiatus. In 1998, the band was invited to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Paul Waaktaar-Savoy had written `Summer Moved On` especially for this performance.[2] They also performed `The Sun Always Shines on T.V.`. This performance was A-ha`s comeback into the world of music and the band decided to return to the studio.

Almost the entire album was remixed by producer Niven Garland at the record company`s insistence to make it more radio-friendly for the band`s German market.

`Summer Moved On`, `Minor Earth Major Sky` and `Velvet` were commercially released as singles. `I Wish I Cared` was an Internet download single, accompanied by an Internet-only music video—one of the first of its kind.

Backing vocals for the track `Velvet` were provided by Simone Larsen of Norwegian band D-Sound.
